Overview on VMI Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is a procurement and planning practice in which a company delegate’s key inventory management functions to one or more of its suppliers. Under this arrangement the supplier determines the items, quantities, and delivery schedules on behalf of the customer based on information it receives from the customer’s inventory and procurement systems. Using VMI, manufacturers and distributors can anticipate customer needs and provide inventory more proactively than is possible using traditional procurement methods This Presentation will address how VMI can be accomplished by using a single, well-integrated suite of applications ( Oracle ) VMI
Pre-Requisites forVMI • Oracle Applications 11.5.8 or • Oracle Applications 11i prior to 11.5.8 with Family pack H for the following modules • Oracle Inventory • Oracle Purchasing • Oracle Planning (APS) • Collaborative planning is installed and Configured • iSupplier Portal integrated with Collaborative planning for Supplier Collaboration (Optional) • For VMI with Consignment model following modules need to be at 11.5.9 • Oracle Inventory • Oracle Purchasing • Oracle Payables • Cost Management • Warehouse Management VMI
VMI Configuration Steps • Enable VMI at the ASL level (Item – Vendor Combination) • Enter threshold values and other VMI related parameters at ASL level • Setup VMI related profile options • Run initial Data collection with complete refresh including user-company association • Run VMI Replenishment Engine in Collaborative planning after data collection • Configure Planner Workbench to handle VMI exceptions by Planners • Optionally Configure to do ‘Auto Replenishment’ by checking ‘Allow Automatic’ checkbox at ASL • Configure isupplier portal to be linked to Collaborative planning to effectively use Supplier Collaboration VMI
VMI Benefits Benefit for the supplier: • The ability to access customer on-hand quantity information, forecast information, minimum and maximum inventory thresholds, in-transit inventory quantities and expected receipt dates in order to determine when to ship goods • The ability to manually execute an approved purchase requisition or blanket release on the customer system and to track the status of the order through receipt, storage, and consumption by the customer • The ability to automate replenishment proposals Benefit for the customer: • The ability to differentiate between goods that must be replenished by a supplier from those which are internally planned and replenished • The ability to consume VMI materials in Work-In-Process or to explicitly take responsibility for planning from the supplier as needed • The ability to better estimate suppliers production schedules based on anticipated demand from the customer. VMI
Option 3: VMI for version prior to 11.5.8 For Clients using Oracle applications version prior to 11.5.8 can implement VMI in one of the following ways by extending your Oracle e-business suite to support VMI 1. Create a Separate inventory Organization to stock and track Vendor inventory 2. Use ASN to track Vendor Inventory. As long as the inventory is managed by Vendor it will be considered as ASN In-Transit and when you want to consume the material receive the inventory against ASN into your inventory 3. Load vendor on-hand as vendor Capacity for each item vendor combination in ASL. Optionally load on-hand as MPS entries as well with ATP option checked and production option unchecked. This will enable to promise customer orders against vendor inventory when ATP is performed in OM VMI
